  1. Nope, something's wrong, don't force the needle. I'll let more airbrush-experienced members trouble-shoot.
  2. I tried OpenDNS for a little while, until I realized it was causing my issues with Xbox Live.
  3. Yellow+purple is still a horrible combination with most shades.
  4. Well, if I had been able to pre-order one, I'd be cancelling it. I much preferred the green, but I *hate* the change in the yellow. Fokker/Jolly Rogers yellow isn't "yellow". It's orange-yellow. That was even its official name years ago. (nowadays it's "insignia yellow" but it used to be called "orange-yellow") That's an issue Bandai has always had, but Yamato usually got right---using a rich orange-yellow for Fokker's colors.
  5. Or instead of pure blackest black, why not a navy blue, as is the traditional US police uniform in many(all?) US cities.

    DX VF-25G

    They painted that section on Ozma's instead of molding it in the appropriate shade of grey IIRC, so I don't think the mold's set up the way it needs to be to allow for the glove being a different color for the wing. It really seems like the mold is designed for Alto's scheme. Everything else uses LOTS of paint. Whereas the 1/72 kit is split up so you can get like 80-90% color accuracy with no paint.
  7. Ordered the ASUS N56U, Newegg had a 20 buck off coupon for it today, so that made it *much* cheaper than the 66.
  8. Up again, just got mine. Go now! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=15546036&sku=13931381
  9. Well, when all you have are 500 BB's, and everyone in town already has one, sales go down...
  10. At this point, I'm just waiting for the -19F to go on sale... (I currently own no -19's of any kind despite it being my fave valk, and it may be a long time before a v3 YF-19 comes out)
  11. Useful shot for size comparison:
  12. Am I nuts, or do Russians apparently not attempt to brake when there's an impending collision?
  13. That's the J-21, their F-22 rip-off. Previously seen was the much-cooler and bigger J-20.
  14. OK, router time. Mainly interested in compatability/reliability over raw speed/range. That said, this is everything that may be hooked up to it in the foreseeable future: ipad iphone X360 PS3 Any suggestions? I have seen a few reports than Netgear's uber-popular N900 routers don't like iphones. I am strongly considering true dual-band due to the latest iphones being 5ghz capable. Also--do external antennas matter? Some routers don't seem to have them, but if they make even a 5% difference, I'm all for having them.
  15. Best VF-11B scheme out there is the Ravens: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossga/variant-vf-11b-vfx2-yellow.htm I keep wishing Yamato would make it.
  16. In case anyone else is seeing red X's:
  17. J-21: The J-20 looks cooler, and at least isn't a 100% pure copy of something else. It's so close, I wonder if it has problems with the pilot's oxygen system...
  18. Didn't that appear in Robocop 2, and not the original?
  19. Nah, you'll get more hilarious droids™ in Clone Wars and like it.
  20. Hmmn. Wouldn't work QUITE as well on a VF-1 I think, having no tailplanes.
  21. I clicked just so I could see a limited-release valk that actually had "add to cart" there.
  22. No, it just seems that for once a show-character got their toy ahead of their debut. I hear he's a pirate, or something like that.
  23. Really, shouldn't Grace be Akiko?
